Dear Conference Attendees:
Please plan to participate in ALER's first Readers’ Forum -- a spin on the popular “One Book” model used in many colleges, universities, and communities. Conference attendees are invited to read the book, Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman, a set of eighteen well-crafted essays in which Anne Fadiman shares her love of reading and books.
There will be several informal gatherings during the conference for interested ALER members to converse about the book. Special thanks to the ad- hoc committee that has been planning the Readers’ Forum, Susan L’Allier (chair), Dianna Baycich, Tami Craft Al-Hazza, and Janet Towell.
The book can be purchased at many local book stores, or through Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Ex-Libris-Confessions-Common-Reader/dp/0374527229/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243607267&sr=8-1
If you buy the
book through this link, a percentage of the book’s
purchase price will be donated to ALER for use in the Community Service
project.
